Accounts

Start interacting with the Autonity network, create an account and fund it to issue simple transactions.

In order to submit a transaction to the Autonity network, an account is required. The concept of an account in Autonity matches that of Ethereum. Briefly, an account has a public address (which acts as an identifier of the account for use by other participants) and a secret “private key”, which is required in order to control the account (and in particular to spend funds held by the account). This is described further in the System Model section.
